The world may not look at your job as a sport, but we do. That's why we created the New Balance 706, a lightweight, technical walking shoe that offers exceptional comfort, durability and stability to anyone who spends all day on their feet. Postal-approved, the 706 features a ROLLBAR® support system that helps you handle whatever challenges you face on the job. And its polyurethane outsole and midsole provides lightweight durability and compression resistant cushioning. Top it off with a premium breathable leather upper and you'll not only feel good on the job, you'll look good too.

I have purchased this shoe for the last 6 or 7 years!

Yes, I recommend this product.

"I love this shoe. I have been wearing this model for the last 6 or 7 years. As a neuropathy sufferer, I'm really picky about which shoes I wear, as they must be comfortable and make staying on my feet bearable. The New Balance 706 shoe is perfect for me. I just hope that they are never discontinued!"
